Karl Rove is actually in trouble!

I am disgusted by the antics of Karl Rove as the next guy, but honestly, I never thought that going after him was going to amount to much. Democrats scream for his ouster but they're too shrill themselves.

If they'd only sit back and wait for the press to do their job, we could make this whole political arena less acidic. Of course, having been beat up so many times by Mr. Rove, I can understand why they're out for blood. But they ought to just cool it and wait.

Karl Rove is in a world of trouble. Right wing blogs and the Hannitys and O'Reilly's are constantly going on and on about how Wilson is the real criminal and that Karl Rove didn't commit a crime...except he did. More than one, in fact. Karl Rove, in addition to learning that Valerie Plame's identification was sensitive information (it was indicated as such on a State Dept memo that he had access to BEFORE he ever talked with Matt Cooper or Robert Novak), Karl Rove gave false testimony to the FBI in 2003, claiming no involvement and denying that he divulged Valerie Plame's involvement in Joe Wilson's Niger trip. Such are the facts.

One way or another, the man has serious troubles. It will be interesting to see how quickly he's pardoned by Bush once a conviction is leveled.
